Q: Any idea what to do for fistula perianal treatment!?
Any idea what to do for fistula perianal treatment!?
My close firend has been facing troubles with perianal abscess, and after an incision it developed to fistula perianal. What is your suggestion, to undergo a surgery which may live him with incontinence or continue with medicaments. Actually my question is is there any chance to heal by using drugs or any other alternative way in order to avoid fiercy surgery?

A: A man that I knew that did not want to undergo surgery took the meds that this Dr. recommended and the lived on a liquid only diet for 30 days (liquid broth, milk, jello etc.), and it cleared up.

The man I knew took this extreme measure because he had family members who had had the surgery then developed cancers.

Q: What is Fistula and what is its treatment?
I think this is the advance stage of piles.

A: A fistula is….

1) an abnormal connection between two parts of the body (such as between the bladder or rectum)

2) an abnormal connection of two different spots of the same part of the body (such as the small intestine)

3) inflammation that works it’s way to the outside of your body to where it shows up on the skin (such as from the colon to the outside of your butt).

Treatment for these could require surgery, but if caught early, they can be treated with some anti-biotics.

A: Other ways to treat anal fistula is track debridement and fibrin glue injection, endorectal advancement flap closure and Seton use to drain and heal. Your friend needs to discuss all treatment options with a surgeon.

Q: Can deep cleaning be done if there’s a fistula/abcess? How many tooth can be deep cleaned for each treatment?
And how long is the interval required after each deep cleaning.

Will appreciate if anyone can answer my questions immediately. Thank you very much.

A: hi there chris usually if the dentist diagnosed you that you need a deep cleaning you usually at least go to a series of appointment in most cases they do it in a 2 visit program it just depends on how you tolerate the procedure. deep cleaning is basically a procedure wherein you you get numbed and do the supra and subgingival scaling so it will be at least more comfortable for you to tolerate the procedure. in dentristry term they called in scaling or root planing or subgingival currettage. usually they do it per quad like let say for example upper right and lower right. if you dont have any missing teeth usually per quad has eight teeth for an adult patient (including third molars) so per quad is usually 8 teeth.
in most usual cases its advisable for you to have a deep cleaning even if you have fistula so that way they can drain the abcess that you have, BUT if the dentist founds out that your abcess is periapical which means you have an abcess in the apex area of your tooth then the case is in it should be in your dentist discretion. that way they can determine exactly whats best for you. usually the procdure interval after you had your first appointment for deep cleaning is 1 week , it depends how you tolerate the procedure and again it depends upon what your dentist says

Q: Kshar sutra in the treatment of fistula: How much does it cost?
Hi, I am from india. The ayurved doctor tells me that it will cost RS 15,000 for the thread application for the first time. And RS 1500 for every subsequent weekly change of thread. He says since the fistula is smaller in length, it will heal only in 2-3 thread changes. Do you think this is a fair price? Also cure for fissure will require kshar-karma (application of ayurvedic medicine on fissure) and this will cost me another RS 15,000 for the first application and RS 1000 for subsequent weekly application.
Has anybody got an idea of how much it costs in your locality for this treatment?
Please share your experiance.

A: Hi, I am the guy who asked this question. thanks for answering. I first thought going the conventional way of fistulotomy(lay-open) and hamerrhoidoctomy(stapler) as advised by my doctor. But when i learned about the risks involved (incontinence, post surgery pain) and high chance of recurrence, I started exploring alternatives. Kshar-sutra seemed a likely candidate because
a)this is not invasive (not even a drop of blood is shed during the procudure)
b)0% chance of incontinence (has never happened in the documented history)
c)It’s a out-patient procedure
d) very little post operative pain (can return to work the very same day)

So after looking at all these factors I got it done yesterday. It was done under local anesthasia. The only painful part was the anestasia injection. It took 20-minutes for the entire procedure to be over.
The procedure involved the following:
1) local anestasia by injection
2) kshar-sutra for fistula
3)kshar-karma for fissure
4)anti-tetnus injection

I have been asked to take 1 tab each of amoxicillin and serratiopeptidase 3 times day after meals for the next five days.

yesterday was a little painful. Today i can feel very mild pain. I start work tommorow. There is no incontinence.
I will be visiting the doctor on saturday for the thread change and kshar-karma. Doctor tells me that hamerrhoids can be easily treated by the oil he has given me and won’t require any procedure. If it doesn’t shrink then he would have to perform kshar-sutra for the hamerrhoid too.

This whole thing set me back by 15000(kshar-sutra for fistula)+15000(khar-karma for fissure)+1000 (ayurvedic laxatives and oil for local application)= RS 31000

the subsequent visits gonna cost me RS 2500 per visit. He says it will take about 2-3 visits for complete cure.

Do you think this is a fair price? The conventional allopathic procedure would have cost me around RS 50,000 (incl one day stay at hospital).

1$ = RS 40

Please share your experiance.
Thanks for reading.

Q: can rectovaginal fistula affect virgins and what is the treatment?

A: I suppose it is possible if the person has some underlying weakness or predisposition for one. I would think if that is the case, that it would be found and treated at a very young age. Usually, though, in a young person, this would be from a trauma, most probably of a sexual sort.

The only treatment I know of for this is surgical.

I hope I helped

Q: what is recto vaginal fistula? causes,treatment?

A: It’s basically a “tunnel” that goes between your rectum and your vagina. This can cause you to poop urine, or urinate poop, etc. Surgical treatment can fix this, because if it isn’t fixed, it can lead to infection.

Many things can use it, trauma, injury, disease, etc.

Q: what is anal fistula and alternative treatment?

A: You can have a fairly good idea from the following links about anal fistula:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_fistula
www.mayoclinic.org/anal-fistula/
Fistula can also appear in other sites like Bilary fistula, Gastro colic(in Crohn’s), Vesico vaginal(following radio necrosis), Uretrovaginal(from Obstretical trauma) etc. These are abnormal passages culminating from abscess formations. Fistula ani can also be accompanied by Hemorrhoids, Fissures, and ulceration of the anus. Constipation and autointoxication are important factors. Most of the persons who have fistula are by their habits, conducts etc are pre-disposed towards that end. In other words there is an inbuilt pre-disposition towards receiving fistulous nature. This may be conveyed in Ayurveda by the word, Tridosha or in Homeo by respective miasms and therefore miasmetic remedies are warranted, and spiritually those of sinful nature. The person suffering from fistula therefore has less to do with his sufferings and conditions than what he has inherited. I would not consider it as a hereditary ailment, though. Only the habits and conduct of life, like strong idiosyncracies etc. ending up in Fistula are received hereditarily.

You have already seen the options available in conventional medicine. Either they are management techniques or surgery where the relapse and return of the malady is very common. In homeopathy the medicine of significant value in cure is Silicea and Myrestica Seb. But, as you are aware, these medicines need not be suitable for all persons as per basic principles of homeopathy, each person has to be treated holistically and the mediicine symptom picture should match with the symptom picture emiting from the person. However, in some cases organ specific medicines have been found successful and therefore, disease symptom specific too. Nitric Acid, and bacillinum, graphites are medicines that can help you with miasmetic aspects. Sulphur and berberis vulgaris are other medicines of value. Calendula can be used externally. High potencies of hepar sulph can help you with the drying up of abscesses. Change in life style is a must for permanent cure.

There are recorded first hand reports of ongoing curative process with www.Homeopathyandmore.com where Mr. Joe Livera is successfully helping the cure. with best wishes.

Q: What are other treatments for tooth abscess and fistula except distraction of the tooth?
What are other treatments for tooth abscess and fistula except distraction of the tooth since oral surgery hadn’t helped?

A: When you had the oral surgery, was a root canal performed? If so, that is the last ditch effort to say the tooth. If the fistula and the infection does not resolve in 2-4 weeks after having thins done, then extraction is your only option.

Q: possible causes and treatment of hepati arteriovenous fistula in english bulldogs?

A: Sorry but you’ve posted your question in the wrong category — Skin Conditions.

Q: How can I heal up a dental fistula without the tooth being pulled?
I have a pus draining fistula on a tooth where a bridge is anchored on. Antibiotic treatment hasn’t helped. Are there any natural remedies?

A: Nope, no natural remedies will cure a badly-infected tooth.

You have a fistula because the tooth above it is serving as a reservoir for the bacteria, and no natural remedies can get in that tooth, kill all the germs, and seal it off so it won’t be infected again.

The only way to get rid of the source of the infection is to either do endodontics treatment, or get the tooth pulled, depending on the specifics of your situation (to be determined by a thorough evaluation by a dentist).

Hope this helps.

Q: What’s root canal treatment? Can it be done at the same time after deeping cleaning?
What’s root canal therapy treatment? Is it 100% safe and effective. Is there any side effect? Can it be done at the same time after deep cleaning or it can only be carried out sometime after deep cleaning. Is root canal treatment necessary for perio disease treatment? My son may had fistula in his gum as his gum/teeth is feeling sore and dry. Can it be treated by taking medicine/prescription? Can deep cleaning be carried out if this happened?
Can anyone who knows please answer or give your advice urgently. Thank you very much.

A: CHRIS,
HOW OLD IS YOUR SON? ROOT CANAL TREATMENT SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH PERIODONTAL DISEASE. THESE ARE 2 SEPARATE ISSUES.
DEPENDING ON THE CLEANING, PLAQUE AND CALCULUS (tartar) ARE REMOVED FROM THE TEETH. THIS IS 100% SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.
FOR A ROOT CANAL, THE NERVE IS REMOVED FROM A TOOTH AND REPLACED WITH A STABLE COMPOUND. SUBSEQUENTLY, A FILLING OR A CROWN IS PLACED ON THE TOOTH. WITH PRIMARY TEETH THE PROCEDURE IS VERY EFFECTIVE. WITH PERMANENT TEETH THERE IS A 95% SUCCESS RATE.
I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE ROOT CANAL WOULD BE DONE PRIOR TO THE DEEP CLEANING.
